Beauty News: Sephora previews Sephora + Pantone Universe limited edition collection on the web

In February I posted an announcement by Sephora and Pantone which they released in December of 2011 saying that they would be collaborating to create a limited edition collection centered around the 2012 "Color of the Year" Tangerine Tango. The collection, titled Sephora + Pantone Universe, is now available to view on the Sephora website but isn't available for purchase quite yet. However now is great time to start checking out what you may want to purchase once the items are accessible! The pictures below are the first 12 items that were viewable but they have added more items including a compact mirror, a feather hair clip, a body kabuki brush, and a lip stain, among other items which can all be viewed here.

Color of the Year Creme Lipstick $18, Color of the Year Lipgloss Set $20, Tangerine Tango Brush Set $68



Color of the Year Prisma Chrome Blush Apricot Brandy $16, Color of the Year Collector's Edition Set $68, Color of the Year Eyeliner Set $22
Color of the Year Nail Enamel Set $24, Color of the Year Eyeshadow Quad $28, Tangerine Tango Eyelash Curler $18
Tangerine Tango Faux Lash Set $28, Color of the Year Blush Duo $26, Tangerine Tango Makeup Bag $28
The first item to catch my eye was the Faux Lash Set. I think these feathery lashes are so glamourous and unique (although I'd probably never wear them.. lol)! I am loving the Creme Lipstick, the Lipgloss Set and the Brush Set and would probably consider purchasing these items. But honestly I love almost everything in this collection! I think the Tangerine Tango color is so stunning and fashionable. The only thing I don't love is the orange eyeliner but I suppose it could always be worn as a lipliner, right?

Anyway, what are you loving and/or hating? Will you be purchasing anything from this collection? Let me know! :)

xoxo,
Bekah

Beauty News: Sephora creates limited edition collection with Pantone

"Tangerine Tango" Swatch
Every season Pantone, a company that has created a standardized collection of colors, releases a new list of colors as a forecast of which colors will be popular in industries such as fashion, cosmetics, home design, textiles and paint.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, Pantone will be teaming up with Sephora this year to create a limited edition cosmetics collection primarily featuring the Spring 2012 color “tangerine tango” (aka Pantone 17-1463 TCX) which is said to be the “it” color of Spring/Summer 2012.

The Sephora website refers to “tangerine tango” as, “…juicy, vibrant orange marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.” Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

Women’s Wear Daily says that if all goes well, Pantone will continue with future collections for Sephora. The collection is scheduled to launch in March. Products will sell for $18 to $80.

I am looking forward to bright colors this Spring, especially to wear on my lips. This collection seems to be right up my alley and I can’t wait to see what they come out with. "Tangerine tango" lipstick or nail polish would be perfect!
